Bimodal and multimodal descriptions of soil-water characteristic curves for structural soils
Water Science and Technology, 2013 In the last decades several approaches have been developed to describe bimodal or multimodal soil-water characteristic curves (SWCCs). Unfortunately, most of these models were derived empirically. In the presented study, physically based bimodal and multimodal SWCC functions have been developed for structural soils.
